Preview: Indian Junior Women's Hockey Team gears up to face Canada in their FIH Hockey Women’s Junior World Cup 2023 opener

With the opening clash against Canada, India aim to set the tempo early on. Their previous encounters against the Canadian team have seen India triumph in all three games, a statistic that adds fervour to their motivation.

Moreover, India's triumphant capture of the Women's Junior Asia Cup 2023 title in Kakamigahara, Japan earlier this year stands as a significant psychological advantage as they step into the FIH Women’s Junior World Cup 2023.

Indian Junior Women's Hockey Team Captain Preeti exuded confidence ahead of their opening game and stated, "We are entering the tournament with determination and focus. Our team's preparation has been intensive, and we're keen to translate that into our performance on the field. Playing against Canada in the opener is a chance for us to set the momentum for our campaign."

Coach Tushar Khandker echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the team's readiness, saying, "Our players have trained rigorously and are mentally prepared for the challenges ahead. We respect every opponent and are looking forward to a strong start against Canada."
